Russell Hobbs RH13552 Manual

Proper precautions must be taken to prevent the risk of burns, fires,
or other injury to persons or damage to property. Keep hands and face
clear of the area above the Kettle.
11. Remove the kettle from the power base before pouring the water.
Caution: Always make sure the kettle is Off (0) before removing it from
the power base.
Caution: To avoid a risk of splashing, make sure the lid is securely
closed onto the kettle before pouring the water. Pour slowly and don't
over-tilt the kettle.
Caution: Do not touch hot surfaces! When you lift the kettle from the
power base you may notice moisture on the power base surface. This
is the steam used to switch the kettle Off (0) automatically, which then
condenses and escapes through the vents in the underside of the kettle.
This is normal and should be ignored.
12. Unplug the power base from the electrical outlet when not in use.
Allow it to cool before reuse.
13. Empty the kettle after each use.
Important: Do not leave water in the kettle overnight.
14. For cleaning instructions, go to the CARE AND CLEANING section.
REHEATING WATER IN THE KETTLE
1. To reheat water in the kettle, check the water level.
Caution: When refilling, take care when lifting the lid, as the kettle,
if hot, may be full of steam. Keep your face, hands, etc. clear of the
opening.
2. If necessary, add more water, and then place kettle back onto the
power base.
Caution: Do not fill above the MAX level as indicated by the lever inside
the kettle. If filled above the MAX level it could cause boiling water to
splatter out.
Note: Be careful not to spill any water onto the power base.
3. Press On/Off (I/0) lever down, into the On (I) position. The indicator
light will come on.
4. When the water comes to a boil, the kettle will automatically shut off
and the indicator light will turn off.
5. Remove the kettle from the power base before pouring the water.
Caution: Always make sure the kettle is Off (0) before removing it from
the power base.
Caution: To avoid a risk of splashing, make sure the lid is securely
closed onto the kettle before pouring the water. Pour slowly and don't
over-tilt the kettle.
6. Unplug the power base when not in use. Allow it to cool before reuse.

Important: Do not leave water in the kettle overnight.
8. For cleaning instructions, go to the CARE AND CLEANING section.
BOIL-DRY PROTECTION
A safety thermostat will automatically operate should your kettle be
accidentally plugged in without any water, or if the kettle is without
sufficient water, or if the kettle is allowed to boil dry. The boil-dry
protection device will automatically turn the kettle Off (0).
Important: To reset the boil-dry protection device, you must remove the
kettle from the power base and allow it to cool before refilling with water.

CLEANING KETTLE WITH VINEGAR

off flavor in the water or lengthen the boiling time.

pour into kettle.
Important: Do not boil the solution in the kettle, as it may damage the
kettle.
